BeAM is a global OEM of Directed Energy Deposition machines

headquartered in Strasbourg, France. Our technology is ideal for repairing components, adding features

to existing parts or building near net shape parts with minimal post processing. Designed durably for the

demands of today’s metal additive applications, BeAM’s DED systems are truly a critical ingredient in

your “factory of the future”.

WHO WE ARE

DED is an Additive Manufacturing process where focused thermal energy is used to fuse materials by

melting them as they are deposited.

BeAM's industrial solutions typically utilize a deposition nozzle mounted on the Z-axis of a DED dedicated CNC

machine. This allows continuous 5 axis of freedom to build/repair components layer by layer without the need

for support structures.

Utilizing traditional numerical controls and using ISO G-code gives our customers tools that their skilled work-

force is already accustomed to.

WHAT WE DO

DED

DIRECTED ENERGY DEPOSITIONDED (DMD, LMD) Developed in the 1970s (as Cladding)Industrialized in the 2000sProductionized in the 2020s

BeAM’s DED process involves directing metallic powder into a laser beam. The powder converges at the focal point of the laser, creating a melt-pool which is laid down in a 5-axis configuration.

One process isn’t neccessarily better than another.

Each has capabilities it excels at with minimal overlap.
